Cubius - A new mineable ore

Cubius would be a new kind of ore that could be found in mines. It would be about as rare as gold, and it's main purpose would be to allow you to process raw cubius into cubits, allowing for a more reliable way to get cubits.
To process cubius, you'd first need to smelt the cubius in a forge to get raw cubits. Smelting cubius would take 40 seconds per item, making the process rather lengthy. After you have the raw cubits, you would need to put it into an extractor for another 40 seconds per piece. The extractor would then dispense cubits instead of another item. Per raw cubit, you would get 1 cubit if you are level 10 or under, 1-2 if you are 11-15, 1-3 if you are 16-25, and 1-4 if you are level 26+. There would also be a perk that would show up after reaching level 40 that would allow you to get 1 extra possible cubit from this process.

If you're gonna mine for those ores and are rare as gold, you might as well just do some regular hardcore mining cuz you get cubits faster than searching for ores. Just imo
BUT i wouldnt vote for this add for 3 reasons.
1. It would put some of you low levels out of work as it would make higher levels more likely to mine therefore they would stop hiring you to mine for them....
2. There really are plenty of ways for a low level to start getting cubits. You just have to work hard and be determined about it!! By level 15 i was selling tools and basic crafted items from a small shop. You'd be shocked how much u can make sellin 5-30c items i swear!!
3. Games like this take money to produce and run and manpower and time and energy and a dedicated team. The makers and all employees do this as a job to feed their families. And they are already kind enough to make it free it play and have various ways for us to earn cubits so buying isn't necessary. We gotta think about the Devs too!!
2. Buy low Sell high
3. Tapjoy
4. Events
5. Buy items and hope their value rises
6. Level up pets
7. Sell items from rehydrated cubes
And many more ways
Yes some new players might not be able to afford pets, hats, etc. but it isn't that hard to mine 1,000c+ worth of blocks then sell them. Plus events are usually free.
I also don't think that the amount of cubits should change depending on your level.
